But one concept that is not stressed enough is to lead a successful team, you have to understand those who are not like you, and be able to support, encourageand motivate them.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreWe say to ourselves (or others) I know that .Everyone is different. But if you take a closer look at how you act and communicate with others, it may become evident that you actually treat everyone pretty much the same,in the ways that are most comfortable for you.To truly practice this leadership skill, some foundational principles need to be understood and acceptedYouneed a team to accomplish your goals.If you can achieve your business goal by yourself, your goals are not large enough.You need others to help accomplish the goals you have for the company,so start treating others like you need them, versus reminding them how much they need you.Other people think, believe, process informationand are motivated differently than you.Some think big picture, others need specific details. Some are analytical, others are dreamy creative types.Some need toseethe information, others need tohearit. Some need both.Some want accolades and praise, others just want a private thanks.Doing things your way isnt always the best way for others.Yo u are bright, talentedand you get things done.But, believe it or not, your way of doing things isnt the best way for everyone else. Additionally, your way may not be the best way for some tasks to get done (for example, many engineers ideas for marketing products arent that effective).You need people different than you to make a good team.Differences are good (although they involved challenges like communicating clearly). You need detailed, analytic conservative fiscal types. You need energetic, outgoing lets tackle the world salespeople.

Not everyone fee ls valued in the same ways. Many leaders attempt to reward and motivate their employees in the ways that are important tothem.They assume that because they are motivated by, for instance, encouraging words, their employees will be too.Some managers are motivated by verbal praise and giving awards, or through a bonus incentive program.Some people feel valued when they are included and get to spend time with others who are important to them, such as going to a sports event together. And others appreciate working on a task together and solving a challenging problem as a team.In fact, we have identifiedfive different languages of appreciationin the workplaceand numerous specific actions within each language that differ from person to person.If you try to use the one size fits all approach, the results will be discouraging.First, you wont hit the mark if you give verbal praise to those who believe words are cheap.Secondly, you will waste a lot of time, energy and potential money by givin g gifts, rewardsand bonuses to those for whom a little time or camaraderie is worth more than the expensive dinner you treated them to.Finally, you will probably become irritated that your team members dont seem to appreciate all I do for them.Instead, find out how each team member is motivated, what is important to them,what makes them feel valued and appreciated.It will energize them to use their unique skills to improve and sustain your business, as well as create a culture where difference is celebrated.This article originally appeared on Appreciation at Work.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from nestkken Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people

Do These 30 Things If You Want to Be Unstoppable

Do These 30 Things If You Want to Be Unstoppable Do These 30 Things If You Want to Be Unstoppable speciesicle by Benjamin P. HardyA lot of people are good at what they do. Some are even elite. A select few are completely unstoppable.Those who are unstoppable are in their own world. They dont compete with anyone but themselves. You never know what they will do only that you will be forced to respond. Even though they dont compete with you, they make you compete with them.Are you unstoppable? By the end of this blog, you will be.1. Dont Think Know and ActDont think. You already know what you have to do, and you know how to do it. Whats stopping you? ?Tim Grover, author of Relentless From Good to Great to UnstoppableRather than analyzing and thinking, you should act. Attuned to your senses, and with complete trust in yourself, do what you instinctively feel you should. As Oprah has said, Every right decision I have ever made has come from my gut. Every wrong decision Ive made was t he result of me not listening to the greater voice of myself.The moment you start thinking, youve already lost. Thinking swiftly pulls you out of the zone.2. Always Be Prepared So You Have the Freedom to Act on InstinctJust as the yin-yang symbol possesses a kernel of light in the dark and of dark in the light, creative leaps are grounded in a technical foundation.? ?Josh Waitzkin, author of The Art of Learning An Inner Journey to Optimal PerformanceBecome a master of your craft. While everyone else is relaxing, youre practicing and perfecting. Learn the left-brained rules in and out so your right brain can have limitless freedom to break the rules and create.With enhanced consciousness, time will slow down for you. Youll binnensee things in several more frames than others. While theyre trying to react to the situation, youll be able to manipulate and tweak the situation to your liking.3. Dont Be Motivated by Money (or Anything External)Having nice things is, well, nice. But for yo u, its never been about the money, prestige, or anything else outside of you. Take these things away and nothing changes for you. Youre still going to be pushing your personal limits and giving it your all. Give these things to you, and they wont destroy you like they do most people.4. Never Be SatisfiedThe drive to close the gap between near-perfect and perfect is the difference between great and unstoppable. ?Tim GroverEven after you achieve a goal, youre not content. For you, its not even about the goal. Its about the climb to see how far you can push yourself.Does this make you ungrateful? Absolutely not. Youre entirely humbled and grateful for everything in your life. Which is why you will never get complacent or lazy.5. Always Be in ControlUnlike most people, who are dependent on substances or other external factors, you are in control of what you put in your body, how you spend your time, and how long you stay in the zone.Act based on instinct, not impulse. Just because you could doesnt mean you do. And when you do, its because you want to, not because you have to.6. Be True to YourselfAlthough 70 percent of U.S. employees hate their jobs and only one in three Americans report being happy, relentless and unstoppable people purge everything they hate from their lives.Have the self-respect and confidence to live life on your terms. When something isnt right in your life, change it. Immediately.7. Never Let Off the PressurePressure can bust pipes, but it also can make diamonds. ? ?Tim Groverfruchtwein people can handle pressure in small doses. But when left to their own devices, they let off the pressure and relax.elend you. You never take the pressure off yourself. Instead, you continuously turn-up the pressure. Its what keeps you alert and active.8. Dont be afraid of FailureMost people stay close to the ground, where its safe. If they issue, it wont hurt that badly. But when you choose to fly high, the fall may kill you. And youre okaywith that. To you, there is no ceiling and there is no floor. Its all in your head. If something goes wrong if you fail you adjust and keep going. 9. Dont Compete With Others. Make Them Compete With YouMost people are competing with other people. They continuously check in to see what others in their space (their competition) are doing. As a result, they mimic whats working for others.Conversely, youve left all competition behind. Competing with others makes absolutely zero sense to you. It pulls you from your authentic zone. So you zone out all the external noise and zone in to your internal pressure to produce.10. Never Stop LearningOrdinary people seek entertainment. Extraordinary people seek education.When you want to become the best at what you do, you never stop learning. You never stop improving and honing your skills and knowledge.Your unparalleled preparation is what gives you power. No one else is willing to pay the price youve paid.11. Success Isnt Enough It Only Increases the PressureF or most people, becoming successful is enough. However, when youre relentless, success only increases the pressure to do more. Immediately following the achievement of a goal, youre focused on your next challenge.12. Dont Get Crushed by SuccessSuccess can become a catalyst for failure. ?Greg McKeown, author of Essentialism The Disciplined Pursuit of LessMost people cant handle success, authority, or privilege. These thingsdestroys them. These thingsmake them lazy. When most peopleget what they want, they stop doing the very things that got them there. The external noise becomes too intense.But for you, no external noise can push harder than your own internal pressure. Its not about this achievement, but the one after, and the one after that. There is no destination. Only when youre finished.13. Completely Own It When You Screw UpImplementing extreme ownership requires checking your ego and operating with a high degree of humility. Admitting mistakes, taking ownership and developing a plan to overcome challenges are integral to any successful kollektiv. Jocko Willink, author of Extreme Ownership How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and WinNo blame. No deception or illusion. Just the cold, hard truth. When you mess up, you own it. And as the leader, you own it when your team fails. Only with extreme ownership can you have complete freedom and control.14. Let Your Work Speak for ItselfWell done, is well said.? Anthony Liccione, poet and authorCal Newports recent book, Deep Work, distinguishes deep work from shallow work. Heres the differenceDeep work is- Rare- High value- Non-replicable (i.e., not easy to copy/outsource)Shallow work is-Common- Low value- Replicable (i.e., anyone can do it)Talking is shallow. Anyone can do it. Its easily replicated. Its low value. Conversely, deep work is rare. Its done by people who are focused and working while everyone else is talking. Deep work is so good it cant be ignored. It doesnt need words. It speaks for itself.15. Always Work on Your Mental StrengthMental resilience is arguably the most critical trait of a world-class performer, and it should be nurtured continuously. Left to my own devices, I am always looking for ways to become more and more psychologically impregnable. When uncomfortable, my instinct is not to avoid the discomfort but to become at peace with it. My instinct is always to seek out challenges as opposed to avoiding them. ?Josh WaitzkinThe better you can be under pressure, the further youll go than anyone else because theyll crumble under pressure.The best training you will ever do is mental training. Wherever your mind goes, your body follows. Wherever your thoughts go, your life follows.16. Confidence Is Your Greatest AssetYouve heard it before Running a marathon is far more mental than physical. A persons ability to run a marathon or do anything hard is more a reflection of their level of confidence than their actual ability.Your confidence determines- The size of the challenges/goals you undertake- How likely you are toachieve those goals- How well you bounce back from failuresIf youre not confident, you will never put yourself out there in the first place. When youre confident, you dont care how many times you fail Youre going to succeed. And it doesnt matter how stacked the odds seem against you.17. Surround Yourself With People Who Make You Think ofthe Future, Not the PastWhen you surround yourself with people who remind you of your past, youll have a hard time progressing. This is why we get deckenfries in certain rolesthatwe cant seem to break free from.Surrounding yourself with people whom you want to be like givesyou a clean slate. Youre no longer defined by your past only by the future you are creating.18. Let Things Go, But Never ForgetBeing unstoppable requires carrying no unnecessary mental or emotional baggage. Consequently, youll need to immediately and completely forgive anyone who has wronged you. However, forgiveness doesnt mean you forget. And it doesnt mean you have to do further business with those who have wronged you.19. Have Clear GoalsWhile a fixation on results is certainly unhealthy, short-term goals can be useful developmental tools if they are balanced within a nurturing long-term philosophy.? ?Josh WaitzkinAccording to loads of psychological research, the most motivating goals are clearly defined and time-bound.Your goals can either be focused on your behaviors (e.g., Im going to write 500 words per day) or on the outcomes youre seeking (e.g., Im going to get published in The New York Times by June 1, 2016).For most people, behaviorally focused goals are the better and more motivating option. But when you crave the results so much that the work is irrelevant, your aim should be directed straight at the outcomes you want.However, results-focused goals are better when short-term and grounded in your long-term vision and philosophy. When your why is strong enough, the how will take care of itself.20. Respond Imm ediately, Rather Than Analyzing or StallingAnticipation of an event is always more extreme than the event itself both for positive and negative events.Just do it. Train yourself to respond immediately when you feel you should do something. Stop questioning yourself. Dont analyze it. Dont question if it came from God or from yourself. Just act.Youll figure out what to do after youve taken action. Until you take action, it will all be hypothetical. But once you act, it becomes practical.21. Choose Simplicity Over ComplicationIts easy to be complicated. Most of the research and jargon in academia and business ismore complicated than it needs to be.Cutting to the core and hitting the truth is hard, because its simple. Very few people will give you the truth. When you ask them a question, it gets mighty complicated. There are so many variables, or It depends, they say.T. S. Eliot said it best, Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in informat ion?Wisdom is timeless and simple. Learn wisdom and choose it.22. Never Be Jealous or Envious of Someone Elses AccomplishmentsBeing unstoppable means you genuinely want whats best for everyone even those you would consider your competitors. Jealousy and envy are the ego, which operates out of fear.The reason you are happy for other peoples success is because their success has nothing to do with you. You are in control of you. And you are different from every other person. There is no one who can do exactly what you can do. You have your own superpower with your own unique ability to contribute.23. Take the Shot Every TimeIf I fail more than you, I win. Seth Godin, author and marketerYou miss every shot you dont take. And most people dont want to take the shot. Fear of failure paralyzes them.The only way you can become unstoppable is if you stop thinking about it. Just take the shot. Dont do it only when its convenient or when you feel ready. Just go and make whatever adjustments y ou need after the fact.24. Dont Get Caught Up in the Results of Your SuccessAlways remain focused on what got you those results the work.When you start doing noteworthy stuff, there are benefits that can become distractions. It can get easy to ride the wave of your previous work. Keep practicing. Perfect your craft. Never forget what got you here.25. Think and Act 10XWhen 10X is your measuring stick, you immediately see how you can bypass what everyone else is doing. Dan Sullivan, founder of Strategic CoachMost people even those you deem to be world class are not operating at 10X. In truth, you could surpass anyone if you radically stretched your thinking and belief system.Going 10X changes everything. As Dan Sullivan has said, 10X thinking automatically takes you outside the box of your present obstacles and limitations. It pulls you out of the problems most people are dealing with and opens you to an entirely new field of possibilities.When you take your goal of earning $100,00 0 this year and change it to $1,000,000, youre forced to operate at a different level. The logical and traditional approach doesnt work with 10X. As Shane Snow, author of Smartcuts How Hackers, Innovators, and Icons Accelerate Success, has said, 10X progress is built on bravery and creativity instead. Working smarter.The question is Are you willing to go there? Not just entertain the thought for a second or two and then revert back to common thinking. No. Are you willing to sit with 10X thinking? Are you willing to question your own thought processes and open yourself to believing an entirely different set of possibilities?Could you convince yourself to believe in your 10X potential? Are you willing to undertake goals that seems lunacy, to you and everyone else? Are you willing to take the mental leap, trusting the universe will conspire to make it happen?26. Set Goals That Far Exceed Your Current CapabilitiesYou need to aim beyond what you are capable of. You need to develop a comp lete disregard for where your abilities end. If you think youre unable to work for the best company in its sphere, make that your aim. If you think youre unable to be on the cover of Timemagazine, make it your business to be there. Make your vision of where you want to be a reality. Nothing is impossible.? ?Paul Arden, author of Its Not How Good You Are, Its How Good You Want to BeIf your goals are logical, they wont force you to create luck. Being unstoppable means your goals challenge you to be someone more than you currently are. As Jim Rohn has said, Dont wish it wereeasier, wish you were better.27. Make Time for Recovery and RejuvenationWherever you are, make sure youre there. ?Dan SullivanWhen you focus on results rather than on being busy, youre 100 percent on when youre working and 100 percent off when youre not. This not only allows you to be present in the moment, but it also allows you to take the time you need to rest and recover.Your ability to work at a high level is like fitness. If you never take a break between sets, you wont be able to build strength, stamina, and endurance. However, not all rest produces recovery. Certain things are more soothing than others.Recovering from my work generally consists of writing in my journal, listening to music, spending time with my wife and kids, preparing and eating delicious food, or serving other people. These things rejuvenate me. They make my work both possible and meaningful.28. Start Before Youre ReadyThe best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.? ?Chinese ProverbMost people wait. They believe they can start after they have enough time, money, connections, and credentials. They wait until they feel secure. Not people who are unstoppable.Unstoppable people started last year. They started five years ago before they even knew what they were doing. They started before they had any money. They started before they had all the answers. They started when no one else believed in them. The only permission they needed was the voice inside them prompting them to move forward. And they moved.29. If You Need Permission, You Probably Shouldnt Do ItA mentor of mine is a highly successful real estate investor. Throughout his career, hes had hundreds of people ask him if they should go into real estate.He tells every one of them the same thing that they shouldnt do it. In fact, he actually tries talking most of them out of it. And in most cases, he succeeds.Why would he do that? Those who are going to succeed will do so regardless of what I say, he told me.I know so many people who chase whatever worked for other people. They never truly decide what they want to do and end up jumping from one thing to the next trying to strike quick gold. Almost always, it turns out thatthey stop digging when theyre just a few feet from the gold and they dont even realize it.No one will ever give you permission to live your dreams.30. Dont Make ExceptionsZig Ziglar used to tel l a story of traveling one day and not getting in bed until 4 A.M. An hour and a half later (530), his alarm went off. He said, Every fiber of my being was telling me to stay in bed. But he had made a commitment, so he got up anyway. Admittedly, he had a horrible day and wasnt productive at all.Yet, he says that decision changed his life. As he explainsHad I bowed to my human, physical, emotional, and mental desire to sleep in, I would have made that exception. A week later, I might have made an exception if I only got four hours of sleep. A week later, maybe I only got seven hours of sleep. The exception so many times becomes the rule. Had I slept in, I wouldve faced that danger. Watch those exceptionsHence, Zig was unstoppable.From this point, your strategy is to make everyone else get on your level. Youre not going down to theirs. Youre not competing with anyone else ever again. Theyre going to have to compete with you. From now on, the end result is all that matters. ?Tim Grove rWhen youre unstoppable, you will make sure to get what you want. Everything you need to know is already within you. All you need to do is trust yourself and act.Are you unstoppable?A version of this article originally appeared on SUCCESS.com.Benjamin P.

Brag Your Way to a New Job or Pay Raise

Brag Your Way to a New Job or Pay RaiseBrag Your Way to a New Job or Pay RaiseBrag Your Way to a New Job or Pay RaiseIts a jungle out there in the working world. Employers arent as loyal to their workers as they were a few decades ago. And many, if not most, employees are more likely to just jump ship and look for new jobs if they dont feel theyre getting what they want out of their current ones.The problem is that many employees begin their job search unprepared. They dont keep track of their most recent accomplishments, so when it comes time to write or update their resume, theyve forgotten most of the big things theyve done. And forgetting a couple of important accomplishments on your resume can mean the difference between getting the job and not getting even the chance to interview.Thats why its important to keep a brag sheet. It can be a simple document, like a Word file, that you update every time you make a noteworthy accomplishment or reach an important goal at work.The brag sheet can also help when its time for your performance review. If your boss overlooks or neglects to include something positive that could improve your review, you can use the brag sheet to help you state your case and maybe even earn a bigger raise.Heres an example of an information technology project managers brag sheetFeb. 10 Software implementation project for accounting department came in two days ahead of schedule. Department manager very pleased with new functionality.Feb. 20 Department VP said software project came in $1,500 under budget, a 10% savings, which came at a good time since the company is thinking budget cuts for second quarter.April 2 Hired a very skilled contractor to help us with networking project.

5 Ways To Avoid A Digital Interview Disaster - Spark Hire

5 Ways To Avoid A Digital Interview Disaster - Spark HireFinding peace and quiet in preparation for a digital interview is sometimes easier said than done. Professor Robert Kelly can attest to this fact. He was mid-interview, live on the BBC, when his two children burst through the schreibstube door.Though the unexpected appearance was adorable, it certainly wasnt what Professor Kelly had in mind when delivering his thoughts on a serious topic involving South Korean politics.While he recovered well, hell likely make the necessary preparations to prevent another pint-sized interruption in his next interview.If your job seekers have a digital interview coming up, here are some tips you can offer to help them avoid a similar situationKeep everyone informedWhether they live with a spouse and kids or housemates, have your candidates inform everyone who shares their space that theyll be recording a digital interview for a job opening.This will help deter distractions in the form of loud TV s, noisy phone calls, and other sounds that can detract from strong responses. These distractions make the individual seem unprofessional during their digital interview.Head to a quiet spaceBefore your candidate begins their digital interview, instruct them to consider which room in their home would give them the best chance at solitude.Is their office next to the room where their housemate keeps her trommel set? If so, perhaps its best to choose an alternative location. What are the chances that if they get situated in the kitchen, their children will storm in looking for a snack? If this is the case, encourage them to head to a space with a door so they can avoid unexpected interruptions.Alternatively, invite your candidates to your office to perform their digital interview. This ensures a space free of distraction. It also allows you to guide them during one-way digital interviews.Make sure candidates have a quiet place to record digital interviews. staffingClick To TweetLock doo rs before an interviewAs we saw with Professor Kellys interview, a closed door doesnt necessarily guarantee a digital interview free of interruptions parteicularly when little ones are involved.When candidates select their interview location, have them check for working locks. A locked door will help protect against mid-thought interruptions. This is especially important if theyll be taking part in a live digital interview.Perform a practice interviewBefore they sit down to record their interview, your candidate should take the time to do a practice session. This gets them comfortable with the interview environment and format before the big day. Perhaps the window in their office allows too much light in, making it difficult to see their face. Or maybe the air conditioning unit creates too much of a commotion. If they know this in advance, they can move to a more appropriate location and deliver a digital interview with superior audio and video quality.Better yet, practice with you r candidate to help coach them and guide their responses to interview questions in preparation for the actual digital interview.Always have a practice groe nachfrage with your candidates before the interview. staffing tipsClick To TweetBe prepared to improviseNo matter how much pre-interview preparation you and your candidate do, something unexpected might pop up. The phone may start ringing. Their internet connection might go down. A neighbor may decide its the perfect time to mow his lawn.While these situations are frustrating, groom the candidate to improvise and move on. Have them correct the issue. They can make a joke if its appropriate for the situation. If theyre pre-recording their responses, they can start the recording again. If anything, this unscheduled interruption shows employers how quickly the candidate can think on their feet and adapt.Sure, Professor Kellys mid-interview interruption made him an internet sensation. But thats not the ideal setup for a digital inter view. Candidates need a quiet room with good audio and video quality. This allows them to showcase their professionalism and potential to your clients.By communicating this need to others, testing out the conditions in advance, and knowing how to improvise when necessary, your candidates can deliver a digital interview thats sure to impress.Get more tips to help your candidates shine in a digital interview Check out our staffing resources

Engineering the Workingmans Holiday

Engineering the Workingmans Holiday Engineering the Workingmans Holiday Over the course of the past 120 Labor Days, the original meaning of the federal holiday has taken a back seat to the opportunity for one last summer blowout. But someone had to fight for our right to party. Along with crusading journalists, social reformers, suffragettes, and labor advocates, mechanical engineers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were the instruments of sweeping change in American life, both on and off the job. Engineerings role in the drama of labor reform is complicated. On one hand, their machines of mass production threatened craftsmen and laborers as the engines of unemployment. On the other hand, engineering knowledge helped enhance workers quality of life by fueling equipment manufacturing standards and safety codes. And as workers themselves, engineers of the machine age shared the saatkorn desire for a collective voice at the bargaining table. Safety First Before labor reform, Am erican industry was a much more dangerous place, where the new machines of mass production could instantly turn into haywire tools of mass destruction and loss of life. Children were a mainstay of the workforce. As steam power transformed the landscape of the mechanized age, a preponderance of little-noticed explosions and fires linked to steam boilers across the country finally gained national attention with the Grover Shoe Factory tragedy of 1905. After the Brockton, MA, boiler explosion killed 58 workers, injured 117 more, and leveled the factory, government agencies and professional organizations such as ASME came together to develop standards to protect workers and prevent catastrophic loss to businesses. ASMEs venerable Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) was developed in the aftermath and first published in 1915.The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City on March 25, 1911. Image Wikimedia Commons In 1911, a fire at lower Manhattans Triangle Shirtwaist Factory ki lled 146 garment workers in a blaze of uncertain origin. Although a stray match or cigarette got the official blame, other reports of the time implicated a malfunction in the factorys sewing machinery. Whatever the cause, many workers perished because the factory owners had locked the stairwell doors as a precaution against worker theft and unauthorized work breaks. With vivid press reports of young immigrant women leaping from upper stories to their deaths to escape the flames, national attention fixed on workplace safety and the need for regulation. The American Society of Safety Engineers organized soon after, and continues to set engineering standards to minimize worker mishaps. Man Versus Machine Many workmen in trades have fought and borne awful sacrifices in the fight against the introduction of a new machine or a new tool, said Samuel Gompers, founder of the American Federation of Labor. Some have even gone so far as to violently destroy the machine, but it did not destroy t he idea. Mankinds struggle against the dehumanizing effects of mechanization is one of the central conflicts of our time. From Englands loom-smashing Luddites, to the American steel-driving folk hero John Henry, to radical 20th century acts of industrial sabotage, a segment of the industrial workforce has put its rage against the machine into action. When the demand for labor drops after the introduction of a new machine, its called technological unemployment. The fear of losing ones livelihood to a newfangled device has driven workers to violence, sabotage, and intentional withdrawal of productivity. The adjustment to mechanization was especially challenging for skilled craftspeople who had learned the ins and outs of their profession over years of apprenticeship. Engineer Frederick W. Taylor of Bethlehem Steel believed the opposite model was better for industrial productivity. His method broke down complex manufacturing processes into the smallest possible steps and assigned each worker the fewest possible tasks, so factory production could accelerate and the need for skilled labor would drop significantly. His Scientific Management theories, first presented at a 1903 ASME conference, were an overt effort to eliminate skilled workers from the factory payroll. Predictably, the approach caught on like wildfire, and skilled workers represented by trade unions of the AFL were suddenly, in Gompers words, thrown into the army of the unskilled. Even as the old-time craft unions resisted change, a new element of mass production workers seeking union representation arose within the labor movement. Industrial unions arose among machine operators and other new semi-skilled or unskilled workers willing to make peace with new technologies and the changing division of labor. By 1935, a Committee for Industrial Organizations todays CIO formed within the AFL in response. On the other end of spectrum, highly educated scientists and engineers in government and private sect or organizations sought strength in numbers. The grenzberschreitend Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers was chartered by the American Federation of Labor in 1918 to represent a national coalition of shipyard draftsmen and architects. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, the Utility Workers Union of America, and other affiliate groups of the AFL-CIOs Department for Professional Employees look after member interests, especially at the federal level, where key issues include the NASA budget, privatization of the Tennessee Valley Authority, military base shut-down, and immigration reform. That uneasy power balance between organized labor, automation, and individual interests creates a curious tension around Labor Day, and engineers have been in the thick of it since the beginning.
